in one instance as hishas sl5 000 600. Mr. Rit-
ter has handled these nst sums day after day
for years without making an error OF penny.
A rough estimate of te total amount that has
passed through his haads at the clearing house
would be between $4,000, 600, 900 and S3l. 00O
0O0.0 This amount has not been handled in
the form of notes, boads or other negotiable So
curities. but in actualcash. The largest legal
tender issued by the government Is for SIC, 000
These bills are plentiful enough in the clearing
house. where they greatly facilitate business
making it quite easy to handle the epormou.
sums necessary from bank TO bank each day.
